Valter’s Osteria - Review - Downtown - Salt Lake City - The Infatuation

"Valter’s Osteria is one of Salt Lake City’s most well-known upscale restaurants, and although its owner, Valter Nassi, passed away in 2022, it’s still serving up the city’s best Italian. Reservations are required, and they keep it old-school by offering them only by phone. Pasta is the star of Valter’s Italian menu, and the best way to try it all is the sampler—it includes taster portions of the ravioli in a four-cheese cream sauce and their pillowy mushroom gnocchi. But don’t miss whatever they’re whipping up tableside, like a two-person caesar salad or maybe some lemon gelato bathed in honey and sea salt. Every meal ends with complimentary hot chocolate and biscotti—a nice warm treat before trudging through the snow to your car." - Jenny Willden
